The Sustainable Building Envelope Demonstration (SBED) is a WEFO ERDF funded project to design, model, test, prototype and monitor low carbon buildings systems using integrated solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies in eight buildings in use. The aim is to investigate innovative energy building facades. Monitoring the energy performance of the systems and the thermal comfort of the buildings is an important process of the evaluation.
